Domino's founder to build town full of Catholics. Ooookay.

For Tom Monaghan, the devout Catholic who founded Domino's Pizza and is now bankrolling most of the initial $400 million cost of the project, Ave Maria is the culmination of a lifetime devoted to spreading his own strict interpretation of Catholicism. Though he says nonbelievers are welcome, Monaghan clearly wants the community to embody his conservative values. He controls all the commercial real estate in town (along with his developing partner, Barron Collier Cos.) and is asking pharmacies not to carry contraceptives.

No contraception? I see the schools in this town getting overcrowded quickly. They may need to bus in some more nuns.

What kinds of laws do you think they will have on the books? Will they allow corporal punishment in the schools? Will sinning be an offense that requires jail time? If you lose your virginity are you walked to the town limits and told to keep on walking? Does that count if you lost it to a priest?

I am going to go ahead and guess that this won't make the list of top ten American vacation destinations. Unless you have a nun spanking fetish.
